Who exactly will be affected by the UK review of benefits for young people?

·The Guardian·Impact 2/5 · Moderate

The UK government is reviewing welfare benefits for young people, specifically those aged 16 to 24 who are not in education, employment, or training, also known as "Neets." This overhaul may involve cutting benefits to fund more job support for this group. The changes could affect nearly 1 million young people, who currently rely on these benefits to make ends meet. The impact on this vulnerable population will be significant, as it may limit their financial support and force them to seek alternative means of income.
